Huh? The fact that someone used an LLM to write part of their code doesn't make their blog post "LLM spam".
And it's complete nonsense to say the repository was "generated by an LLM". The code doesn't even touch the file contents, and it has straightforward functionality that was reviewed by a human.
"Huh" is not me being snarky here, it's because I'm unsure if I interpreted the comment correctly and I want to express that.
As far as "complete nonsense", okay, I'll keep in mind that that language is considered too rude no matter what the circumstances are. I'm not trying to respond to rule-breaking by also breaking the rules, I'm just trying to use a strong statement to argue against an attack like that.
In my experience when I think I probably understand but I'm not sure, asking for clarification and then waiting screws up the flow of conversation and half the time doesn't get an answer.
And more directly asking for clarification in a normal tone is usually just as open to negative interpretation as "Huh?" is. Sentences along the lines of "What do you mean?" can be taken quite badly!
If you interpret anything as yelling it's disruptive. But I'm not sure why that would be the interpretation. It's a short preamble to the next sentence.
This happens to me all. the. time. (with me, it's "wait" and "what?" not "huh?"). In a normal speaking conversation, it flows naturally. In writing, it doesn't come across as conversational punctuation so much as a kind of dunk. It might just be something you'll have to be vigilant about.
The problem is that the 'you' in 'if you interpret' is 'many (probably most) people reading online comments'. That's the point the mod comment is making. The effect counts rather than the intent.
You got good responses from fellow users and I don't want to pile on!
But in case it's of interest or helpful: "huh?" is one of the many markers of internet putdown, and in the weird hierarchy of these things, the punctuation matters: "Huh?" comes across as snarkier than "Huh." or "Huh," or "Huh!" would. I wouldn't have posted a mod reply for that alone, but since the comment also included the name-calling "complete nonsense", it tipped me over the threshold.
I totally believe you about your intent, but that's where things get dodgy because no one (else) has direct access to that. Hence these years-long sequences of modtalk:
